British supermodel Kate Moss' spring/summer collection for Topshop hits not only all Topshop stores and topshop.com, but also select Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com on Wednesday (April 30). Looks range from pajama-inspired styles to slinky bias-cut gowns and from boho blouses to noir-inspired trousers. Topshop says this collection is "much updated and more premium" than her previous Topshop collaborations, which started seven years ago. This time, there are luxury fabrics such as silk chiffon from London, gold lame from Italy and lace from India. One densely hand-beaded dress will be available exclusively at Topshop.com and Net-a-Porter.com, for £600. Nordstrom also gets some exclusive pieces. A deep blue fringed jacket references one she has worn to three Rolling Stones concerts and refers to as her "gig jacket." At the London launch, Moss appeared at the Oxford Circus flagship store, where her favorite band of the moment Duke Dumont performed the track "I GOT U."

Chicago designer Maria Pinto's new collection of urban, architectural designs, M2057 by Maria Pinto, can be shopped through April 12 at VMR (Vintage/Modern/Resale) on Oak Street. The collection, which she launched last fall via a Kickstarter campaign, features a carefully edited assortment of washable, wrinkle-resistant dresses, under $400, that skim the body rather than cling for a universally flattering, elegant fit. A recent addition to the shopping scene too, VMR offers a cross-section of vintage and new designer fashion from the world's major design houses and now, a local talent. Does M2057 seem outside the box alongside VMR's curated assortment of Fendi and Valentino? "Our interpretation is that this is inside the box -- we are supporting Chicago -- and we always intended to expand beyond resale and vintage," said VMR co-owner Tina Kourasis. "The dresses and jackets are exquisite and will pair perfectly with our amazing collection of vintage and resale pieces." Though it's typically by appointment only, for this show it's open for walk-ins from noon to 6 p.m. The show is also a chance to get access to Gill's coveted styling services. VMR, 34 E. Oak St., 7th floor.
